What is Jack Meter ?

jack_meter is a basic console based DPM (Digital Peak Meter). I wrote it for quickly checking remote signal levels, without having to run X11 to use a pretty graphical meter such as meterbridge.

Example

./jack_meter alsa_pcm:capture_1
Registering as meter-23750.
Connecting 'alsa_pcm:capture_1' to 'meter-23750:meter'...
-60-50   -40   -35   -30     -25     -20       -15       -10       -5         0
